which phrase gives two processes scientists think move the earth lithosphere plates A gravity acting on the edges of plates and convection in the mantle, B gravity acting on the edges of plates and friction between the plate and the asthenosphere, C friction between the plate and the asthenosphere and pressure of magma on the edge of the plate, D convection in the mantle and pressure of magma on the edge of the plate

The correct phrase that gives the two processes scientists think move the Earth's lithosphere plates is A: gravity acting on the edges of plates and convection in the mantle.
These two forces are key in the process of plate tectonics, where convection currents in the mantle are thought to drive the movement of the tectonic plates, and gravity helps pull the plates downward at their edges.
